Tom Hurley faught well and gave a good account of himself, but sadly did not achieve a medal this time. Well done Tom! And Len Sharples embodied the tenets of self control and indomitable spirit in a very tough fight, unfortunately coming away without a medal, but his head held high. Well done Len! Coaches for the event Chris Maguire and Darryl Tyson kept team moral going and provided essential tips and support. Photos below.
